Chapter 287: Love (1)
That night, the emperor rested in the Jiaofang Palace.
The emperor hasn't stayed in the Jiaofang Hall for a long time. It's rare to stay, in fact, I don't have the strength to do anything for men and women, but I just accompanied Queen Xu to dinner, chatted a little, and then went to sleep.
Queen Xu was in the year of the tiger and wolf, and secretly raised a few handsome chamberlains to "relieve boredom". This is also a tacit secret in the Jiaofang Palace.
Princess Changping raised a servant in the princess's mansion, which can be regarded as a learned and well-behaved person.
The rules in the palace are strict, and Queen Xu doesn't dare to be too arrogant, and the attendants around her are indeed handsome men who have been castrated.
Princess Changping lives alone in the princess's mansion, but she doesn't have so many scruples. In the name of being an internal servant, they are actually real men.
Because of this matter, Empress Xu had privately reprimanded Princess Changping several times. Princess Changping is not a good-tempered master, and she will have an argument with Queen Xu if she can't say a few words, and Queen Xu, who is only angry, is smoking. But there's nothing you can do about this prodigal daughter.
The next morning, after the emperor got up, Empress Xu carefully and diligently waited for the emperor to change clothes and freshen up.
The emperor was moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "These trivial things, just let the palace maids do them, you are the queen, why do you need to do this." ”
Empress Xu smiled gently: "The concubine is the emperor's wife first, and then after the sixth palace." Serving the husband to change clothes and groom is the matter of the concubine. ”
Empress Xu climbed from an ordinary concubine to the position behind the Sixth Palace, relying not only on her beauty and intelligence, but also on her understanding gentleness and courtesy.
When the emperor heard this, he became more and more moved, and couldn't help but hold the queen's hand and sighed: "With the queen here, the harem is safe and peaceful, and my heart is also very down-to-earth." ”
Empress Xu gently snuggled her head on the emperor's shoulder.
The emperor grabbed Empress Xu's body and asked casually, "Why didn't you see Ling Jingshu serving by your side today?" ”
Empress Xu's expression remained unchanged, and she responded with a chuckle: "She has only been in the palace for a few months, and she received the flowers and plants in the Jiaofang Palace. He rarely served by his concubines. ”
After a pause, he said: "If the emperor wants to see her, the concubine will often order her to serve in the future." Such a young and tender beauty, not to mention the emperor, even the concubines look at it and feel like it! ”
The emperor coughed a little embarrassedly: "I just asked casually, I didn't mean anything else, the queen misunderstood." ”
Misunderstand?!
Empress Xu lowered her eyes, and a sneer tugged at the corner of her mouth.
The emperor has been fond of women since he was young. Back then, in order to compete for favor, she deliberately did what she liked and brought Wei Jieyu to her side. The gentle and beautiful Wei Jieyu quickly hooked the emperor's heart, she deliberately delayed and did not let Wei Jieyu go to bed, the emperor wanted to see the beauty, so he had to come to her bedroom from time to time.
Step by step, she achieved the highest position in the six houses. It is not unrelated to Wei Jieyu's favored help.
However, she is now a queen of the world. The emperor is also old and weak. The methods that were used before are now no longer interested in using them.
Besides, Ling Jingshu was suffering from a strange disease, and although she was beautiful, she could only watch from a distance and could not get close. She just wants to offer a beauty, and Ling Jingshu is not suitable.
……
After the emperor left, Empress Xu went to the main hall as usual.
The concubines came to greet Queen Xu one by one, and then the female officials and the chief eunuch in the Jiaofang Palace went back and forth for a day's affairs.
Empress Xu praised Ling Jingshu with a pleasant face, and rewarded her with a hundred taels of gold.
Luo Yan's eyes were about to pop out with jealousy. Even Ruilian's eyes were a little hot when she saw it. Queen Xu is never stingy with the people around her, and she is quite generous. But as soon as you make a shot, it is a hundred taels of gold, which is also extremely rare.
Ling Jingshu accepted the reward and thanked her, and her heart was a lot more steady.
It seems that Empress Xu did not have other thoughts. Otherwise, it would have been time to leave her alone to "talk" instead of rewarding her with gold.
"Queen Qiyu, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping came down to greet her mother, and she is now waiting outside the palace." A palace maid respectfully came to report.
Empress Xu hummed casually: "Let her in!" ”
Ling Jingshu and others retreated at the right time.
As soon as he retreated to the outside of the palace, he met Princess Changping who came to ask for peace.
Princess Changping is dressed in gorgeous clothes as usual, and Queen Xu is quite similar but her younger face is charming and moving, with two golden hairpins inserted in the flying bun, tassels hanging to the side of the ears, and the eye waves are flowing, which is full of intoxicating style.
Ling Jingshu and the others saluted Princess Changping together.
Princess Changping turned a blind eye to others, and only smiled and said to Ling Jingshu, "Ashu, you wait here for a while." I'll go in and say hello to my mother, and then I'll talk to you. ”
What does Princess Changping have to say to her?
Ling Jingshu was secretly surprised in her heart, but she responded with a smile on her face.
Luo Yan Qiushuang became more and more envious and jealous in his heart. This Ling Jingshu won the favor of the imperial grandson and the other eyes of Queen Xu. Now even Princess Changping looks up to her very affectionately.
It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!
……
Princess Changping entered the main hall, and Ling Jingshu waited under the corridor outside the hall.
At first, it was nothing, just a normal greeting. Later, I vaguely heard Queen Xu's voice of hidden anger. Princess Changping seemed to be unconvinced, and her tone became intense.
Ling Jingshu subconsciously pricked up her ears and vaguely heard a few words.
Bridegroom...... and ...... And Lu Hong's name!
What's going on?
Princess Changping has hooked up with Lu Hong~ together?
"Bang dang" with a crisp sound!
It's the sound of a tea bowl being smashed!
I don't know how Queen Xu scolded Princess Changping, in short, after a stick of incense, Princess Changping came out angrily. The willow eyebrows were upside down, and his face was flushed with anger.
Ling Jingshu hesitated slightly, but still greeted her: "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess asked the slave to wait here for?" ”
Princess Changping was still angry, and said firmly: "It's nothing." ”
Ling Jingshu was not angry, and said softly: "Since there is nothing to do, the slave and maid will retire first." The hundreds of pots of peonies in the peony room still need to be taken care of by slaves and maids. ”
Princess Changping somehow changed her mind again: "Wait! Are you going to the peony room now? ”
Ling Jingshu couldn't figure out Princess Changping's mind for a while, and responded cautiously: "Yes, the slave maid stays there most of the time every day. ”
Princess Changping cheered up and squeezed out a smile: "I have long heard that you are good at planting peonies, and today I just went to the peony room with you to have a look and open my eyes." ”
Ling Jingshu was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess has this Yaxing, how can the slave not accompany her." The slave maid will lead the way for Her Royal Highness the Princess. (To be continued.) )
